My tuner from Justin VMP Tuning should be here tomorrow. Did the PI head swap. It was alot of work,Cut the exhaust off true 2.5 into trush mufflers sounds mean at idle but not much power above idle since the puters all screwed up.
here I sit waiting to plug it in

 

A good tune will pull it all together and make the work and waiting worth it. Enjoy.

 

I tell you whayt Justin did mine and what a big differnce.....you will enjoy it!

 

Justin tunes are great! Also like having SCT X3 because you can adjust trans firmness.

 

that a poor way to adjust trans firmness

 

Received my X3 the other day, No tunes on it .Had to send factory strategy back to Justin. Still sitting in my truck parked holding steering wheel and making rrrrrrrmmmmm rrrrrmmmmm noises

 

Thats a bummer, hopefully you will get it soon.

 

I got the tunes today Going to install the 83 performance tomorrow Can't wait except it is pouring with rain outside

 

What do you mean?

 

I think he means that a mechanical solution combined with tuning is the proper way to enhance shifting and firmness.
For example.

That's what I was thinking but didn't want to just assume.. Increasing line pressure via the programmer isn't a poor way to adjust shift firmness. There's always going to be a better way but I think for most of the F150 market adjusting shift firmness by using their handheld programmer is the best way.

 

Old thread, same answer.

Different strokes for different folks, right?
